JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #23
“Black Adam and Isis” part 1 and a “Faces of Evil” issue! The new Justice Society regroups just in time to face one of their greatest and most personal enemies – Black Adam! The sorcerer Felix Faust has imprisoned the soul of Isis, Black Adam's deceased wife. But the Black Marvel just figured that out, and nothing will save Faust from his wrath — nothing except maybe the Justice Society of America. And everybody will be in for a surprise when they discover how Isis has changed since her death at the hands of the Four Horsemen. Will she be a friend to the world – or will she be its destruction?
I'm kind of torn about this one. On the one hand, I really liked the character of Isis in 52. I liked her resolve, I liked her basic goodness, I liked the way she managed to be both strong and sweet without being cloying. I was, unsurprisingly, disappointed in her end. I do realize that she was there primarily to affect Black Adam and not to be a character of her own--but I liked her.
So "everybody will be in for a surprise when they discover how Isis has changed." I can't imagine that I'm the only one who is hoping that she'll be horrified by Adam's actions in her name ("What were you thinking? I was crazy with grief--how could you think I meant this?") but I am pretty sure that won't happen. Because no one can be essentially good. Actually, that's DC's theme this year, isn't it?
